Gu Yanshan said, "What if he doesn’t leave the Western Capital? What if that evil entity detects our hostility and acts within West Capital City?"
Xia Canghai clenched his fists, his face ashen, and remained silent.
The Cabinet fell into silence.
In the True King Era, supernatural entities from the Immortal Realm appeared, surpassing demons and disasters, rumored to be the remnants of ancient material called Er.
Evils target individual or a few people; weaker ones can be killed by Qi Refinement Realm cultivators, like brain worms—lift the skull of the possessed, pull out the brain worm, and even ordinary people can crush it. Strong evils can even affect Golden Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, having started to tap into unimaginable powers.
Threats have abilities beyond common understanding, like the ghost bride who can lay waste to an area, kill a foster mother, consume an entire village, and even threaten a town. Their strength can rival Nascent Soul Realm cultivators and even Divinity Transformation Realm cultivators. Some powerful threats have demon-like abilities, but their influence spans smaller areas.
Demon transformations cover hundreds of miles, creating an extraordinarily eerie transformed domain, and are formidable opponents against those cutting Three Corpses or Refining God masters. When the transformation ends, and the demon reaches full maturity, its power becomes even more terrifying, potentially challenging Mahayana Realm cultivators.
Disasters encompass thousands of miles, a rare occurrence once every hundred years, termed as Heavenly Disaster.
Er: legendary supernatural entities—a path of destruction with thousands of miles of corpses, obliterating all life, the highest level of evil threat! fгeewebnovёl.com
The nine Immortal Palaces left by the True King were to suppress such evil threats!
Furthermore, the function of the Nine Halls is to suppress and pulverize evil before they act and reach full maturity.
Should Calamity Level evil threats reach full maturity, even the True King Nine Palaces may not be able to suppress them!
The ancient remnants include Er-level evil entities!
The White-clothed Fairy is Er, always poised to enter the real world, ready to erupt at any moment!
Now, this Er is roaming West Capital City with Chen Shi!
The atmosphere within the Cabinet was incredibly oppressive.
Leaving Chen Shi as a hostage—they never expected this hostage to play such a significant role!
Yan Xianzhi steadied his emotions, speaking up, "Regarding this matter, I believe we should act gradually..."
Just then, a small clerk from the Observatory reported, "Sir, Chen Shi and the white-clothed woman have left Qixia Temple and are heading towards the Inner City!"
Yan Xianzhi shivered slightly, wanting to speak but his throat was already hoarse.
Chen Shi took the white-clothed fairy out of Qixia Temple; previously, to reduce the hostility of the Thirteen Families and assure them, he wandered the city, unknowingly arriving at Qixia Temple. The white-clothed girl, who had been healing atop the small shrine in the temple, suddenly came out for unknown reasons, babbling incoherently, wanting to accompany him into Qixia Temple.
Chen Shi couldn’t understand her words. Fortunately, the Black Pot understood and solemnly informed Chen Shi that the girl felt an inexplicable familiarity with the place.
"Abba," the girl happily petted the dog’s head.
Chen Shi took her for a walk around Qixia Temple, thinking she might remember something, but she recalled nothing and only clutched her head, wailing abba abba in pain.
Chen Shi simply took her out of the temple and headed towards the Inner City, whispering, "I’ll go for a stroll around the Nine Palaces, so they see me and won’t act against Chen Tang. Appearing outside the True King Nine Palaces lets the Thirteen Families know I’m Chen Tang’s hostage and they’ll be completely at ease with me."
Within the Cabinet, Yan Xianzhi and the other thirteen officials showed expressions of horror. High Official Gao Quan trembled and said, "He has entered the Inner City and is heading for the Innate Nine Palaces!"
His voice was shrill, overwhelmed by fear, he shouted, "He’s threatening us, threatening the Thirteen Families! He’s using the White-clothed Fairy to threaten us, demanding we let Chen Tang go, letting Chen Tang return home!"
